Very different to 2008 vintage tasted here more than one year ago. This vintage is nice and fruity, very aromatic and does not have green tones at all like 2008 vintage. It is similar to Muscat variety, but not as spicy as Muscat Ottonel and Moravian Muscat and it is more fruity in taste still with pleasant acidity and no bitterness at the end like some Muscats can do.
